Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 30, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how WSJCrosswordAnswers.org (the “Site”) handles information when you visit. We aim to collect as little as possible.

Information we collect

You can browse the Site without creating an account or providing personal details. Like most websites, our servers automatically record standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit, for security and to understand general usage. If you choose to join our newsletter, we collect the email address you provide for that purpose only.

Cookies and advertising

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to make pages work and to measure traffic. We may also display third-party advertising, and our advertising and analytics partners may set their own cookies to serve and measure ads, including personalized ads where permitted. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, and where required we will ask for your consent.

Analytics

We may use privacy-conscious analytics to see which pages are popular and how the Site performs. This data is used in aggregate and is not used to personally identify you.

How we use information

We use the limited information above to operate and secure the Site, improve our content, send newsletter updates if you opted in, and display advertising that helps keep the Site free.

Your choices

You can clear or block cookies in your browser, opt out of personalized advertising through your ad settings or industry opt-out tools, and unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email.

Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Third-party links

Our pages may link to other sites, including the official WSJ Puzzles site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above reflects the latest version.
